ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

PeteCoventry3 — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 13:31:21 GMT

I'm having difficulty viewing my Feature Class in Scene Viewer where my saved symbology is not appearing as 3D Extruded, but rather as 2D. I have a Feature Class uploaded to my ArcGIS Online account and opened it in Map Viewer. Here, I was able to apply my desired symbology and save. When I view this Feature Class in Scene Viewer, by symbology is correct, but I cannot view it as 3D Extruded. If I change the Symbols option from "Original Symbols" to "Change Symbols", I'm able to view my data in 3D, however I lose my symbology.

How can I keep my symbology and view it as 3D in Scene Viewer?

Here are a couple screen captures to help illustrate my issue:

Correct symbology, but not in 3D

In 3D, but cannot change symbology

Currently this is a known limitation. If you have the symbology on the polygons, you can extrude the features and convert the dataset into multipatch in ArcGIS Pro using Layer 3D to Feature Class tool. Then you can create a scene layer package and upload that to ArcGIS Online and use the scene layer and style it further in SV or you can upload the multipatch feature class in a zipped GDB to AGOL and from the published feature layer you can publish a scene layer. You can use that 3DObject scene layer and the Scene Viewers smart mapping support for this layer type to further style your layer.

Thanks Russell! Unfortunately we're on Desktop and not using Pro...any work arounds using Desktop?

You can use ArcScene, extrude the polygons by attribute and then use the Layer 3D to Feature Class and that will create the multipatch feature and you can get an idea of what they will look like as the scene layer in 3D. Then you can use the SV to style the layer using the Types or Counts and Amounts smart mapping renderer. To create that scene layer take that multipatch dataset and upload it in a zipped GDB and publish it to a feature layer, then from the publish dialog publish as scene layer.

Thank you so much for your help on this! Feel like I'm close, but received an error....Here are my steps I took: I pulled my feature class in ArcScene, extruded the polygons, applied the Layer 3D to Feature Class tool, zipped the file, uploaded to AGOL and tried to open in SV and received this error - "Multipatch Feature Services are not supported"

one more step

- On the Feature Layer publish the Scene Layer. This is on the item detail page on the right hand side. Publish hosted scene layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS . Then add that scene layer to the scene viewer and clicking on that layer you can further configure its appearance.

Looks like it's working! Thanks so much Russell!!!

Hi Russell

Actually I'm having difficulty symbolizing my hosted Scene Layer. I've sent you an invite to a group where you can see the layer. All I'm trying to do is symbolize the layer by Total Value (totalActua).

I've also added another layer to this group that I'm having issues with: state that "Scene service is missing root node"

Hopefully you can check this layer out to see what I'm doing wrong...

Thanks so much!

Pete

Did you publish this from a feature layer or a scene layer package? Can you share those in the group as well?

Thanks!

Re: ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

PeteCoventry3 — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 14:36:39 GMT

I published both layers to a Scene Layer package. I’ve added both the published Feature Layer and Scene Layer in the group.

Is this what you were asking?

Re: ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

RussRoberts — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 14:47:56 GMT

Yup I can see the scene layers and feature layers and see the issue you are seeing. We are looking into it. Could you share one more thing to the group - the source data you published the feature layer from. This could be a zipped GDB or Service Definition depending on how you published it.

Thanks!

Russ

Judging by what you posted they are from 3D Shapefiles? If you can share the zipped 3D Shapefiles as well that would be great.

Thanks!

Russ

Re: ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

PeteCoventry3 — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:51:39 GMT

Okay, I’ve added the zipped shapefiles to the group. Again, I greatly appreciate all your help!

Pete

RussRoberts — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:58:03 GMT

looks like they are feature layers still .. do you see on the right hand side of the feature layer item Created From which will have a link to the source data(zipped shp, gdb or .sd) and share that to the group

Thanks!

Okay, I think I’ve got it now!

Re: ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

RussRoberts — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 17:24:21 GMT

Thanks! So with 3D shapefiles we do have an issue we are investigating with attributes being not stored in the cache of the scene layer which ends up reflecting the issue we see here with the symbols not updating. If you convert your 3D Shapefile into a feature class and zip that gdb or share it from ArcMap/Pro you will get a feature layer and scene layer that works as you expect. I did a simple export features on the shapefile in ArcMap to create the feature class and uploaded that which worked out. I can share the zipped gdb with you if you want.

Okay, thanks for looking into this! Sure, if you wouldn’t mind sharing that file I’d appreciate it!

Shared to the group.

Re: ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

PeteCoventry3 — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 19:04:53 GMT

So if I’m understanding you correctly, I shouldn’t convert my Feature Class to 3D in ArcScene? Sorry, this is all new to me!

1. Add feature class to ArcScene (I don’t have Pro)

2. Extrude polygon

3. Export Feature Class and zip

4. Upload to AGOL

5. Publish hosted scene layer

6. View in Scene
